This seems like a rude response to someone who’s just trying to share an experience. I value this much more than those who simply regurgitate the online manual in the hopes of getting clicks.

Now, Dart is NOT dynamically typed. It is statically typed, but does have the option to declare something as dynamic if you really don’t want to or can’t choose a static type. Further, Dart compiles to native machine code (unless you chose otherwise, like transpile to JavaScript).

Dart was originally conceived to be a JavaScript replacement (which didn’t happen). I’ve written a complete API back end using Dart and I’d chose it over JavaScript any day.

Yes, Rust and Dart/Javascript have different use cases (Rust is a systems programming language best used to replace C/C++).

In any event, the comparison has some value and my criticism would have to been to provide more comparisons than a Fibonacci compute to show areas where the comparison is radically different. Again, helping someone chose easy of use over performance if possible.
